pre release boothill relationship headcanons!!!
a/n: I'm fiending off crumbs... I've wanted to read some x reader of him but theres none so I gotta write it myself. I hope the other 4 boothill fans enjoy
warnings: gn!reader, like 2 gendered pet names (pretty girl/boy), most of this is written with bias because we don't have alot to go off, obviously written prerelease, when we actually get content of him I'll definitely be rewriting
LEAKS AHEAD!!!
bc: Valentine_DD_ on twt
Tumblr media
- Boothill is described as a righteous person if his bottom line doesn't get crossed, so he definitely treats you good. probably more on the protective side when it comes to you, he's probably not afraid to use his gun if someone is threatening you.
- and believe me he's intimidating. from his overall tough and "unruly" cowboy look to his mechanical body it leaves enemies just a little challenged. he lowers his voice too and probably has a more fierce look in his eyes too. after any threats have been delt with he probably turns to you and turns into the sweetest thing ever, a wide grin across his face and his hands on your cheeks peppering you with small kisses.
- Its said he's a bit sophisticated due to his experiences so I'd like to imagine sometimes he charms you with facts and details about other planets or just genuinely sharing some tips and tricks he's picked up from other cultures. he's also a person who can get along with others pretty well but he can easily give strangers an impression he's selfish and is a bad person.
- again this kinda feeds into he's basically you'd guard dog... but I mean who wouldn't want to be saved by a handsome and sweet cowboy. despite his unpredictable personality and looks he's a huge gentleman for sure. always opens doors and pulls out chairs for you, makes sure your behind him and okay if any danger approaches and practically listens to your every command (lowkey giving off my girl and I don't argue she tells me to shut up and I do)
- one part I'm so excited to see is what they mean by he's illiterate and using metaphors. it's probably just him using slang but it's still kinda cute. I feel like his cheesy and strange metaphors turn into pick up lines when talking to you. perhaps he'll pull a "did it hurt when you fell from heaven?" or something cheesier. Definitely a huge nickname guy, almost never uses your real name. I'm guessing he'd use stuff like doll, sugar, baby, pretty girl/boy and more teasing names. heavy on doll and sugar and just imagine him saying it in a deep southern accent... 😍 kicking my feet. also I imagine he loves making you giggle by not cursing (because he literally cant) and normally he'd get pissed if someone laughed at him like that if it's you he doesn't mind at all.
- that's pretty much it for like analyzing the leaks I saw but now the stuff up ahead is just bias yapping because I always project
- HE DEFINITELY IS A HAND KISSER. greets you by getting on one knee, holding his hat to his chest and kissing your hand. makes eye contact with you too and does that toothy smirk of his IM SWOONINGGG
- maybe he's a dancer! pulls you into his arms and places his hat on your head when a good song plays in taverns. even if your clueless on any type of dances then he'll pull you along to the beat whispering Instructions in your ear.
- gets so lovesick when drunk it drives everyone mad. any folks he's sitting with at a bar gets a whole speech on his wonderful beautiful darling who he owes his live and would happily die by their hand. and may God save you when you come pick him up because he'll be all over you. Immediately he wraps a arm around your waist as he slurrs his hello as he proceeds to tell you he loves you like 40 times. besides the mass amounts of kisses you'll receive once you both reach a private spot he let's some feelings that he might be too shy to share normally, holding your face as he calls you his pretty girl/boy and how he's so lucky to have you.
- honestly not the best for cuddling however unfortunately he needs to cuddle you to sleep so goodluck! his metal body isn't completely uncomfortable it's just cold alot. he tries to get around this by literally preheating himself with blankets before you go to bed.
very bad boothill brainrot atm... only a few more weeks until we get official content 😭 everyone hold hands we got this
Tumblr media
here's the actual leaks if anyone is curious ^_^

How good are they at drag? - Baldur's Gate Characters
Gale: Waterdeep canonically has its own drag subculture, so he'd know the most about it, and his time working on the somatic components of spells means he can vogue at the speed of lightning. But while the spirit and the hands may be willing, the knees are weak. A single death drop would kill this man. I feel that he'd play to his strengths because he knows his bad back and creaky knees can't keep up with anything too vigorous, so while he'd put together something fun and visually impressive, it isn't a very athletic routine.
Karlach: Oh, she'd have so much fun. She likes dancing and Samantha Beart played her as a little Gender, so you'd end up with a fun and happy drag king persona who's having such a good time.
Astarion: He's dexterous, theatrical, and a dab hand with a needle. The costume is flawless. The routine is daring. Not much makeup because he can't see himself in a mirror, but honestly he doesn't need it. He'd act like it's all just a pointless excercise, but he'd get competitive with it. After the performance he gets a lot of compliments and realises that he enjoyed it a lot more than he thought he would.
Lae'zel: Gith genders work differently, so I don't think she'd 'get' it. That being said, she'd make a very hot drag king, so she'd have a successful routine if she just got up on stage and threw knives at things, and not even in time to the music.
Wyll: Canonically a dancer - and a dancer with excellent stamina. Routine practiced to perfection. He could perform it in his sleep. Having so much fun. I think he'd pick out a great song to do the performance to, as well.
Shadowheart: I'm open to having my mind changed about this, but I don't think she'd be good at it. She'd have some fun though. Support bad drag!
Halsin: I'm sorry king but I've seen your dance moves at the afterparty.
Minthara: At first, she flat-out refuses. Why would she ever want to pretend to be a man? Minthara thinks men suck. But if you could talk her into it you'd actually end up with a very funny routine as she puts on the persona of a weak and scared drow man, fluttering about the stage.
Jaheira: I have no evidence for this, but I think she'd be good at it. Gets up on stage, acts like a grade A DILF for the duration of one song, gets off the stage, says it was fun later in a very matter-of-fact way. Embarrases her kids.
Minsc and Boo: Minsc tears off his wig midway through the performance, revealing Boo underneath.

Hey I was wondering if you can do a hc of the OM Characters finding out that MC used to be a singer in the human world but in reality was unsuccessful and doesn’t like mentioning about it at all but still has passion over it. It doesn’t matter about the gender and yeah. If u can Tysm! 🤗
Obey Me! x Gn! Singer!Mc
I had so much fun writing these- tysm anon for requesting!! <3 LUKE IS LIKE YOUR LITTLE BROTHER!!! P.S. You can also read this as platonic or romantic! Lucifer: 1st Born
He finds out because you were taking too long in the shower and heard your captivating voice singing.
He would be surprised and though looking unimpressed on the outside, in the inside this man is so happy if he could he'd squeal like a little girl.
When he's alone with you he'll definitely ask you to sing for him and through small pleas you agree, and when you're done he'll be smiling his signature smile and clapping softly.
"Where did you learn to sing like that y/n?" he asks awaiting your response like a dog waiting for a command.
"Well I just liked singing! I used to be a singer in the human world but it didn't work out.."
He hears your voice break when you say those last 4 words and he is devestated.
How dare nobody appreciate your beautiful voice?!
He must've been glaring because then you said "But I still have a passion for it! They never discouraged me enough to make me quit!
That reassured him as he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Y/n, never give up your passion, and if nobody supports you just know that I will personally string them up and make them appreciate your singing."
You laughed a little and Lucifer was just happy that he was able to hear your amazing gift.
Mammon: 2nd Born (Sorry his is short-)
He finds out one day when he heard you start singing a song for a playlist you're making to study.
WAIT WHAT?!
HIS HUMAN CAN SING?! WHY IS THEIR VOICE SO AMAZING?!
"WHY'D YA NEVER TELL ME?!"
You yelp in surprise and ask what he's talking about.
"YOUR SINGING OBVIOUSLY! IT'S LIKE GRIMM FOR MY EARS!"
You make a face and after much begging by the 2nd born, you decide to tell him
"Well, nobody really liked my singing in the human world.. I tried everything but no matter what I never really got listeners or fans haha.."
This poor man is wondering WHY?! HOW?!
He looks at you with his blue-yellow eyes and cups your face.
He says "Well they're stupid because you got the most amazing voice. Hell better than the angels! And they're angles for fucks sake! Look human, what I'm trying to say, is that you shouldn't listen to anyone who talks down to ya. I'll be your number 1 fan y/n! Nobody is gonna take that spot either ya hear me?"
That reassured you as he tackled you and pulled you into a hug.
"My precious human! How dare they keep this talent from me!"
He probably made a t-shirt saying "Y/N's #1 FAN"
Leviathan: 3rd Born
He found out when you started singing the opening to an anime!
Singer mc?! LEVI.EXE:SHUT_DOWN
Once you knew that he noticed your smile dropped and stopped singing and whispered a small sorry before looking down almost looking shamefully.
"Y-y/n?! Where did you learn to sing?! H-how can you-?!"
This poor boy has so many questions which you were reluclant to answer.
He gave you the cute 'anime girl' eyes (which is what he called it) and he knew you couldn't resist them.
"Mmmm fine. I used to be a singer in the human world and I gave it my all I really did but.. I never got anybody to listen.. I enjoy singing still but only for myself.."
Oh HELL NO. Levi may be shy but he can get ANGRY.
"That's impossible! Your singing is the most amazing thing my ears have ever experienced! You're just like the mc in the anime I'm-A-Secret-Singer-In-Highschool-Living-A-Normal-Life-But-Please-Send-Help!"
The long ass title of course made you snicker but he looked at you with serious eyes and said, "Henry had people who talked down to him but he never gave up! A-and neither should you y/n!!"
Satan: 4th Born
He found out by you humming a tune to singing some of the lyrics from a song in a movie that was inspired by a book that you were looking for in the library.
He couldn't help but be frozen by your hypnotic voice. You didn't notice him until he leaned on a bookshelf and something fell.
"I'm sorry Y/n. I couldn't help but listen to your singing. Where did you learn to sing like that?"
You paused a little bit while he motions you to sit in one of the library chairs.
"Can you tell me y/n?"
You sigh knowing he wouldn't forget about it and would probably ask you about it tomorrow and decide to tell the blonde haired demon.
"Well, in the human world I was a singer and I enjoyed it, loved it actually! But people didn't really like my songs or my voice or anything so I just kinda quit.. I never lost my passion for it though."
He sits looking at you in what you can tell is a mix of anger and confusion.
"Why did you give up? People are ruthless, but I think you should try again y/n. You never know and if they don't like your singing they can suck dick."
The last part of his sentence makes you laugh a bit as he smiles and looks at you saying, "I believe in you y/n. Even when you don't believe in yourself."
Asmodeus: 5th Born
He found out you could sing when he dragged you to a karaoke bar.
"C'mon sweetie! You'll do just fine besides my voice will take the main stage and you can sing backup! We got this we'll crush every demon! And don't worry I'll let you pick the song, as long as it won't ruin my beautiful voice!"
You think he only said the last part because he saw you looked a little nervous but you were still thankful.
After the karaoke session you noticed how everyone there was looking at you and not as Asmo which was weird because he's the lust demon, then you noticed he was even looking at you with sparkles in his eyes.
He bowed to the crowd then dragged you back to the house of Lamination.
"Where did you learn to have such an enchanting voice darling?! That was amazing!! I need to bring you to there again, you'll be all the talk all over Devildom!-"
He stopped once he took a look and saw you looking at your knees in discomfort and silence.
"Sweetie.? Are you alright? Did I make you uncomfortable?" Despite popular belief he was actually very caring and kind and not always self-centered.
You nodded and said, "That was my first crowd in a long time.."
Confused, the pink haired demon asked "Well what do you mean sweetheart?"
So you explained it to him.
"Well, I used to be a singer in the human world but, it didn't really work out and I never really had a crowd that enjoyed my singing but maybe they didn't even enjoy it as much as I do.."
"Y/n. I know demons, and I know just by their faces that they loved our performance. Your performance! Don't be so hard on yourself, because I know that you did amazing and I'm perfect so obviously I'm right!" He said swishing his hair in an attempt to make you smile. (It did)
"There's that smile I adore! Let's get your confidence back and go to more karaoke bars okay? Next time you better sing a duet with me though!"
Beelzebub: 6th Born
How he found out was one time you were baking with Luke and Barbatos (and Beel decided to bring himself to 'taste test.') and a familiar tune came from Barbatos's voice from him humming then Luke joined in singing and eventually you joined in on the fun.
Soon the kitchen was soon made into a ballroom with you singing and dancing with Luke and Barbatos stil humming the music as Beel watches in total awe.
You're a little worn out from singing and dancing till you see the tall orange haired demon looking at you as if you were the most prized food in all of Devildom.
"Y/n your voice is amazing!"
"Ah.. you really think so Beel?"
He nods his head as Barbatos and Luke agrees.
"Well, let's just get back to this cake yeah?" The three boys wondered why you were so dismissive but Barbatos and Luke paid no attention and they continued working. Beel however did not forget about your captivating voice.
On the way back to the house of Lamination he asks, "So you don't need to answer, but why did you just shut down the idea of singing? I really like your voice and I think so does Luke and Barbatos."
"Well it's not somthing I really talk ab-" theres the Beel puppy eyes. Damn you Beel for being adorable.
"Okay.. I used to sing in the human world, and I really loved it so I tried to become a professional but nobody.. really liked my singing as much as I do.. so I kinda gave up on that profession."
This poor boy was shocked.
"But why? Just because some people don't like it doesn't mean you shouldn't. Your voice is very nice to listen to especially when singing. Even if you don't like it I do and so does Luke and Barbatos and everyone who didn't support your singing is stupid."
You smiled knowing at least somebody liked your singing at least one person.
"If you start singing let me know, I want to hear your voice again singing."
Belphegor: 7th Born
How he found out was when he called you up for a nap and said he needed a lullaby.
"Y/nnnn I need something to make me fall asleep I can't fall asleep without oneee.." Which was halfway the truth. After much begging on the behalf of Belphie, you gave in and started singing a small lullaby.
Once you were done singing and started humming Belphie sleepily commented, "Such a mystical voice.. how not famous lullaby singer..."
You laughed a tiny bit to yourself for how sleepy he is and turned to him seeing even though sleepy he was dead serious.
"How are you not famous.?" he asks.
You hesitate to meet him in the eye as he lays close by you, knowing him he'd keep himself awake until you told him or he would lay on you until you told him.
Sighing, you say, "I tried to be famous, to sing as a real singer. But people just, didn't really listen and I was unsuccessful.."
You notice a hand lay you down and the fluffy blue haired demon says, "Well they lost out on a good singer.. that means you're now my professional lullaby singer.. screw the money grabbing producers who can't tell talent."
You smile at him being this caring and start singing another lullaby to lull him to slumber as well as yourself.
"You're the greatest singer and make sure you believe that too.."
OKAY HI THAT TOOK A LONG TIME AND I SORTA GOT LAZY AT THE END- BUT TELL ME IF YOU WANT ME TO DO A PART @ WITH BARBATOS, DIAVOLO, SIMEON, AND SOLOMON!! (AND LITTLE BROTHER LUKE!!!)

A body on the step and lies all about - i
cooper howard x angel!gn!reader
tags; slow burn, character study, cowboys, angels, religion, gender neutral reader warnings; none
masterlist | cross posted on ao3 inspired by the fallen by @geeks-universe! please check it out summary ; You are an angel, trying to help humanity build what their leaders destroyed. He is a man cursed to painful immortality, trying to survive in the world his leaders destroyed.
He thought he had squashed out all that remained of his humanity, but here you were, all gentle hands and knowing looks, throwing a wrench into the character he had so carefully constructed.
Tumblr media
Some of the others questioned why you remained on Earth, even after Father’s creations had burnt it in fire and gamma. They had all given up hope that good may remain and therefore given up on all of them.
You knew not all of them were at fault - a single secretary could do nothing in the face of her government’s greed and hubris. She could not be blamed, could not be declared evil for someone else’s crime. 
Still, grief was something you had become intricately familiar with. Looking at the ashen remains of all Father and humanity had created, you felt nothing but grief in its rawest, most volatile form. 
But you remained. You held onto that hope, because what else were you without it? 
Few of your siblings remained on Earth, equally dedicated to protecting and nudging humanity in the right direction. You remained in contact, despite millennia-long arguments on right and wrong. 
If you asked yourself back in the 20th century whether you’d find yourself allies and almost friends with Lucifer himself, you wouldn’t have believed it. 
But here you were. Constantly tasting the acidic flavour of radiation in the air, watching as humans tore each other apart again and again and tried to undo what they had done each time.
---
Purdue had grown into a careful little town in recent years. Before, they had called it West Lafayette, and before then it was Chauncey. But now it was Purdue, named after the title stamped into cracked signs and burnt textbooks. 
They still used the old street signs - someone had taken time to repaint the little forest green rectangles and white letters. 
Fondy was a bar built in the bottom floor of an apartment building, half of the letters had fallen off with age, the original name lost to time. Some of the apartments now were used as an inn, though not many travellers ended up in Purdue when Lucas Oil and Big State were only a day’s walk south. 
And here you were, sitting at the counter as Buddy Holly’s voice buzzed from the little restored radio on the counter. Lukas Striker had recently set up in Big State, and you had provided a generous donation of songs to the bright-eyed boy. What a King was doing starting a radio show in the remnants of Indiana was beyond you, but you were happy to indulge. 
You had always liked music, after all. 
You were nursing your first drink of the night - whisky, caravanned out of Kentucky. The bitter taste was familiar on your tongue. Nothing compared to the expensive drinks Lucifer would encourage you to indulge in back in the day, alongside corny movies and drunken exchanges of stories. 
He had been on a Western kick in 2076 and some of ‘77, particularly fond of one pretty little actor named Cooper Howard. His dark hair carefully slicked back reminded you of a gang you met back in the day, though it took quite a few more drinks to pull that story out of you. 
You reckoned, if they ever made a movie about them, put some facial hair and cigarettes on Howard and he was practically the spitting image. 
The ice clinked against the stained glass as you thought back to those late nights, drinking and laughing at the humans’ entertainment. 
Before the resources grew too few, and the humans’ greed too powerful. 
The ramshackle wood doors creaked open, announcing a new customer, but you didn’t look up from the spot you were studying on the counter. It had been built out of old signs and car parts, you could see a Toyota logo. 
He sat three stools from you and ordered in a low voice, heavy with a southern accent. Speaking of Westerns, you thought to yourself. 
You cast him a brief glance. He had rough skin, most of it covered with a ragged duster and clothes stained brown. His hat was angled to shield his eyes, despite being inside, and you could see the way his hazel eyes studied the room curiously. 
You recognised his kind - mortals cursed to immortality. Skin ragged and burnt. Some had their brains melt away with the cartilage and hair, but others held onto their sanity despite. 
His gaze met yours - intelligent, calculating, suspicious - and you held it for a moment, sizing each other up. 
There was something familiar about him that tugged at your tongue, but you couldn’t puzzle it out just yet. You would keep an eye on him, then - he had a dangerous look about him. 
The radio buzzed as the music rolled over to Billie Holiday. You didn’t look away, even as his drink was passed to him. 
Finally, he downed the thing in one gulp and slammed the glass on the counter, leaning forward. “Reckon I’ve seen you before.” He mused. 
“I thought the same.” You replied evenly, taking a careful sip from your drink. 
The two of you fell silent again. You wondered what he was thinking, why he wasn’t ignoring you as you had planned to do to him. 
He gestured for another drink, and the bartender hesitated for a moment. The man sighed and retrieved a few coppers, which seemed to appease the bartender for now. 
“What brings you to Purdue?” You decided to ask, growing uncomfortable with the tense silence in the nearly empty bar. 
He hummed, leaning back in his seat and draping one arm on the counter, tilting his head to look at you. 
It clicked, then, who you were looking at. Speak of the devil (haha), the hollowed out ghost of Cooper Howard sat in that torn duster, staring you down with curiosity and bitterness in those chesnut eyes. 
“Work.” He replied simply. “You?” 
You shrugged. “I travel.” 
He paused, tilting his head a little further, and you couldn’t help but compare him to a little labrador puppy studying something new for the first time. 
The conversation largely ended there, though both of you did ocassionally hum along to the music playing from the radio. He was much more quiet than you, but the tapping of his fingers and the soft rumble of his voice didn’t escape your attention. 
You gave him a friendly smile as you left, though he ignored it. 
And you wondered.

Hi! I really enjoy reading your writings 🥺💕 If it's alright with you, may I request a headcanon for an idol MC who performs the song named "Nobody Knows" by "Kiss of Life" exceptionally well in a RAD event or something? I'd love to see the brothers' reaction especially that dance steps around 0:44 to 0:55 seconds (pre-chorus) 😆 Thank you so much! 💓
Thank you, love!
It makes me so happy to hear that you like my posts🤗
---
MC performs Nobody Knows by Kiss of Life
Note: This can also be used for any dance performance really
Gender: neutral
Warnings: heavy language
Lucifer
That music direction absolutely isn't his cup of tea and he also isn't sure why Diavolo agreed to this performance for such an important event, but here he is
Lucifer has listened to the song when you suggested it, but he hasn't seen the choreography yet
He knows that you like to dance from time to time, but has never watched you until now
The beginning doesn't quite catch him until you get to the part before the chorus. That's when he raises his eyebrows and nods slightly in appreciation
While the performance goes on he's tapping his foot to the beat and if anyone calls him out on it he will pretend nothing ever happened
Diavolo was more than right to assign you this role. All doubts Lucifer had during the organization vanished into thin air
Mammon
Founder of the MC fanclub so of course he's in the front row cheering you on
You didn't allow him to watch you practice the choreography, because you wanted it to be a surprise
In this moment he's way more than thankful for you keeping him away. This way your talent hits him harder than it would have
I feel sorry for the demons who are standing around him to be honest. Every single one is being crushed in a headlock while Mammon yells "ARE YA SEEING MY HUMAN"
I swear, he's so loud that you can hear him over the music without any problems
When you're done be prepared to get crushed by his hug
Leviathan
He's an absolute expert and most definitely helped you choose the song and learn the dance
During practice Levi tried to stay serious and composed, but nothing could stop him from turning into a tomato while watching your movements. It only got worse the longer it went on
Of course the practice is nothing compared to the real deal and he really thought he was mentally prepared for it
Wrong
Levi temporarily forgets where he is and that he is supposed to cheer you on. He even brought light sticks in your favorite color, dammit!
The demons around him pushing him around snap him out of his trance and he starts passionately waving his sticks around
If he hasn't fallen for you yet then he sure did now
Satan
There are actually some kpop songs that he likes and even listens to, but he's nearly not as knowledgeable as Levi
He has seen you dance here and there, but it's nowhere near the real deal since you didn't really put the same passion into the times he watched you
So naturally the performance stun locks him in place with his mouth wide open. No one better tease him about it or else they'll meet their demise
Satan isn't holding back with compliments and praises after you're done
He wasn't sure if he liked the song when you first showed it to him, but it's now one of his favorites
Asmodeus
When it comes to cheering you on Asmo is on the same level as Levi and Mammon
Obviously he doesn't scream from the top of his lungs like those two, but he's definitely in the front row with light sticks so you can easily spot him
Just like Levi he helped you learn and remember the moves so he knows the choreography by heart
During the dance he's mimicking your movements, but it's toned down by a lot. He doesn't want to accidentally smack someone in the face
Your success fills him with so much pride that it even rivals Lucifer
Beelzebub
Honestly, he couldn't care less for the event. He's mainly here for the food and you
During your practice hours he usually sits close by and eats or works out so he's very well aware of how talented you are
As I said before, it's still always so different seeing you do it all on stage though
The proud grin on his face reaches from one ear to another and Beel is so distracted that he even forgets about the snacks he brought
After you're done he's greeting you with the biggest hug ever and provides you with food and drinks. You obviously need that considering how much you moved on stage
Belphegor
The man didn't even wanna show up to the event. It sounded too much of a hassle
Beel then told he you would be on stage and all the exhaustion and laziness left his body immediately
Belphie hates big crowds. Especially when they're this loud, but he soon realizes it's all worth it when he sees you dance
He actually wanted to record it, but he's way too lost in you right now to remember anything
Everytime he closes his eyes from now on he sees you up there on that stage and he falls asleep with a smile on his lips

XIAO , SCARAMOUCHE , KAZUHA general relationship headcanons.
!! gender neutral reader, completely sfw, fluff. tw ? ; none ( song reco )
Tumblr media
!! XIAO
you guys are definitely taking it slow, he still has to adjust y'know. even if he's over 2,000 years old, i doubt he's ever been in a romantic relationship. ( is that an insult ? ; maybe )
overprotective, doesn't care who it is, he just is. the only exception is probably zhongli and ganyu. still unsure about traveler, but i'm leaning to maybe yes.
"who's that? why are you acting so close with them? do i know them? have you mentioned them before?" "....xiao that's one of my family members." "oh."
easily flustered. he can either cover it up easily, or he can't. there's no in between, or that's up to you if you want to decide.
can't express his feeling's properly. this ones a little bit toxic, but if you didn't want accurate headcanons then i think you came to the wrong blog.
but you cant really blame him, he's naturally like that. and it's probably gonna take him a long time to actually open up about his feelings, but if you're an understanding and patient person, then that's better.
he'll probably ignore you if he's jealous, but i guess that's how he copes dawg
he'd want you to come to him first more than him actually confronting you.
but put all that aside- he gives you little things that reminded him of you whenever he goes somewhere. he would sometimes give you a random cute hairpin and said that it'd suit you, which it did.
that's what makes your relationship so cute, he does these little things that make you smile, like taking you out to places where he thinks it's pretty, just like you. he thinks. he does this because he doesn't know how else to express it. ( shakespeare could never amirite )
!! SCARAMOUCHE
mOTHERFUCKER NUMBER 2 WHO ALSO DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO EXPRESS HIS FEELINGS
it's ironic enough that him and xiao are similar in relationships, more so that they absolutely can't express their feelings properly.
but what's different is that he expresses it more aggressive about it. more passive-aggressive probably.
buys you stuff you want without even asking, if he sees you looking at it then he buys it for you the next day, maybe even something better, but still the same design.
you tell him to stop spending his money on you when you don't even need it, but he tells you to just be good and take it. you give in, because it'd be a waste if he bought it and he'd just give it right back after.
but if you like it that way, then he's your personal sugar daddy now congratulations
denies it whenever you call him out when he's being shy, especially when you flirt back, this guy is a hard flirt, only to you of course.
there may be tons of women or men who are into him, but he's only looking at you, if he wanted to cheat, he can. but he doesn't.
"i don't understand why you're so worried about that, you know i'll only always be with you." ( AGOI )
( HE SAY THAT IM GOOD ENOUGH GRABBIN MY DUHDUHDUH THINKIN BOUT SHIT THAT I SHOULDN'T HA-)
but then again, he also says straight forward about problems into a relationship, because he wants to avoid them in the future.
you guys fight sometimes, and i mean teasing by the way, not an actual fight. but fights aren't really rare when you're with him.
it's usually caused because of a misunderstanding.
they do say you fight with the people you love the most
!! KAZUHA
probably the most normal one out of all of them here i fear. sweetest boyfriend ever
bros the whole package
he says whatever's making him uncomfortable in a relationship and he encourages you to do the same and not be ashamed, probably because you two have already been through everything together once you've even started dating.
also he's a very understanding person, and he's willing to listen to you no matter what situation it is.
his love language is probably words of affirmation, saying he loves you out of the blue is his favorite part of the day.
"i love you so much" "..h..huh..?"
10x more soft spoken to you than he is to other people, i know his voice is naturally like that, but he can't help but treat you like your fragile, especially if you're emotional. but if you don't want him to, then he won't push it. especially if you don't like feeling belittled.
closeted sadist
won't force you to do things you don't want to do, but he definitely encourages you.
never and i mean never comments anything rude or disrespectful at you, especially about your appearance. the only things he comments are compliments.
but if you truly want advice for your looks then he'll recommend a hair, clothing switch or something like that, "maybe that would look better, but you really suit anything and everything" he says.
gives you love letters whenever he's away, probably once a week so you don't go overthinking. you don't have to worry about him cheating either, beidou has promised you that she'd tell you if he cheats ( and crush his testicles ) , and obviously, kazuha isn't that type of person, you'd know for sure.

And that's why I love fall- Neuvillette X gn!reader
"I love you y/n. Don't you ever forget that.". T/W- comfort, blood, coughing, slight angst, use of gender neutral terms such as Mx,
Taglist form
Title song
Tumblr media
The fall in Fontaine was beautiful, the happenings were not. You had fallen head over heels for someone who wouldn't love you back. He was almost emotionless, rarely showing anything, but there were a few times you knew how he was feeling. You'd heard a rumor that he was the hydro dragon, it made sense to you. Whenever it rained you felt a guilty pang in your stomach, you weren't there to help him.
Lyneys court trial was today, and you were gonna be there to support him. But the person you were most excited to see was Neuvillette. He looked so perfect sitting there addressing the court. The way he pieced together evidence and made a story, the way he spoke, and the way he looked so perfect. You had fallen for him even more, then you started to cough. You had just gotten over being sick so it made sense, but when you continued to cough you excused yourself from the courtroom.
When you arrived in the bathroom the coughs became more frequent, but this time petals came up. A rainbow rose. Neuvillettes favorite flower, you had heard him tell the Melusines.
Hanahaki disease: A disease in which the victim coughs up flower petals when they suffer from one-sided love. It ends when the beloved returns their feelings (romantic love only; strong friendship is not enough), or when the victim dies. It can be cured through surgical removal, but when the infection is removed, the victim's romantic feelings for their love also disappear.
You continued to cough up the petals, it was horrible. Over the next few days it got worse, instead of just petals it was an entire flower. Lynette had noticed something was off with you, you were a lot more quiet than usual.
"Y/n are you feeling alright?" Her voice was laced with concern.
"Yeah I'm fine Lynette, just a bit tired that's all."
"Hmm alright."
But it wasn't alright. Your condition continued to worsen. There were two options to fix this, either you confess your undying love for him or you have a surgery. The downside of the surgery is that you'll forget all your feelings for the person. You didn't want to forget the person you loved, who would? Maybe it was time to tell him. But he wouldn't like you would he?
As soon as you stepped out the door it began to rain. Shit… the guilty pang was back. But this time you would be able to be there for him.
While walking to the court house you coughed up a few more petals earning weird looks from passers-by. But when you reached the court house, it wasn't just flowers or petals that you coughed up but blood. You didn't have much time.
You knocked on the door to his office and a Melusine opened it for you.
"Hello Mx, sir Neuvillette is busy at this moment, would you like to book an appointment." It's smile was so adorable you couldn't help but smile even under the circumstances.
"Hello, I'm sorry to barge in like this, but this is very urgent."
"Sorry you'll have to book an appointment."
"Please, you may not believe me but it's life or death."
"Who is it?" You heard a voice call from inside the room.
"Mx L/N."
"Oh let them in."
You coughed up some petals and the Melusine began to understand the situation. "Oh I'm sorry."
"It's quite alright." You gave a weak smile and walked into his office.
"Sir Neuvillette-"
He chuckled a little.before saying, "No need for formalities Y/N."
You felt your cheeks getting hotter by the second, he looked so perfect..but his eyes were teary and it was still a little rainy outside. Without realizing you coughed up a rainbow rose.
"Oh.." he was shocked at what had happened. "Hanahaki isn't it.?"
You nodded your head not expecting it to go like this.
"Who is it you love?"
For some reason those words made you blush, but also made you cough more. Being here was probably not a good idea, but you had to. If this all falls to shit the only other option is the surgery.
"Neuvillette… I.. it's you."
He stared back in shock at those words. "M-me how could you love someone like me?"
Tears began streaming down your face. "I don't know."
"Oh hey don't cry." It began to rain a little heavier. He walked over and hugged you, tight. "There's not reason to cry."
You couldn't help but cry, and burry your face in his chest. It was warm, a comforting sensation, it felt even better when he began to stroke your hair.
"I love you y/n. Don't you ever forget that."

silver makes you handmade flower crowns that match the color of your eyes. he made one for himself, too, as a way to match with yours. it initially takes him a little effort to decide what kind of flower to gift you, but with the help of a few woodland critters, the young man was able to find the perfect flower to crown your beautiful figure. he'd even enchanted the stems and petals as he wove each one together, using a simple potion he had gotten from his father that would help the flowers last an eternity. all that was left was to give them to you. he hoped you would accept not only the crown, but his feelings as well.

sebek zigvolt writes you a love letter. it's the only way he trusts that he will get to say all the words he wishes to admit without lashing out or bursting into defensive shouts over how he really doesn't like you all too much. in truth, though, he really does. you may be a human, but there was a strange charm to your imperfectness that unfortunately drew him in. he's just a little too prideful to say it aloud. so, he thought that a letter coming from his most sincerest emotions would help ease his nerves as he planned to sneak the rustic-looking envelop between the pages of your alchemy textbook, hoping you'd see it without him having to directly speak to you. he just hopes that no one else will confess to you before he ever gets a chance to as well.

lilia vanrouge composes a simple yet lovesome song to serenade you with. being a man of his age, he was naturally more traditional when it came to the matters of the heart, and that included him performing a harmonious tune below your room's moonlit balcony as he let the music coming from his guitar guide the words sung from his mouth. this style of music was certainly much more different than the pieces he would play in the pop music club, however, the possibility of making your heart swell and swoon at his charm was more than enough to make the old fae laugh in excitement at the thought of your reactions. tonight would surely be magical, yes?

malleus draconia invites you to a field of fireflies he summoned only for you. he notices how you favor and gape at the tiny, green lights that illuminate each time he arrives to your meet-ups at ramshackle, and concludes that you must have a liking for luminous sights. you and your cat companion mumble about "fireflies" often, so you must adore them to an extent, correct? finding an open field adjacent to night raven's gates, he uses his magic to summon the little lightning bugs to create a shimmering setting. it's the perfect environment to confess one's romantic feelings; malleus would only hope that you'd accept his invitation later that night.

Can you please do some Yone x reader fluff?
I just need them to be all lovey-dovey with each other with no worries in the world, just fluff please.
✿ Prompt: Wholesome summer headcanons with Yone ✿
♡ champion focus: yone ♡ tw: none! ♡ Gender-neutral reader
Author’s Note: Thank you for requesting! Since this request was unspecified, I decided to take a modern approach to Yone's character in this piece. Enjoy! ໒꒰ྀི´ ˘ ` ꒱ྀིა
Tumblr media
Since Yone and you met some summers ago at the Ocean Song Festival, the two of you became inseparable. There wasn't a day that went by when one was without the other!
At first, he was shy, a dedicated and focused lyricist and DJ that wasn't open to getting the voice of his music out there. It was you that opened him up to new possibilities, expanding upon his career and potential.
It was never Yone's goal or dream to become a household name throughout the country, but eventually, he became just that- thanks to you! It's not always easy being at the top, but at least he has you around to keep him grounded.
"I'm stressed..." "And what can I do to make you feel better Yone?" "I wouldn't be opposed to a kiss... Or ten."
If he spots you in the crowd during one of his shows, he'll always be sure to sign "I love you" with his free hand!
After particularly long weekends attending raves, special events, and massive music festivals as a guest star, the only thing on the musician's mind is going home, eating a large plate of sashimi, and proceeding to fall asleep in your arms.
"Nothing feels as good as coming home to you..." "And nothing feels as good as having you come home to me~"
For some time, Yone didn't tell you he started out as a classical musician. After all, who just goes from classical music to club music?
But, once he does, and sees how eager you were to watch him perform a piece for you, he couldn't resist bringing out the dusty, old morin khuur from the back of his closet... But just this once!
Yone would definitely allow you to sit on his lap while he's working on new pieces in the studio! Sure, it's not the most ideal or comfortable seating, as compared to when he's working at home on the couch, but what's the harm!
"Won't you sing for me, Yone?" "And what is it that you would like to hear, my dear?"
In general, summers often consist of you and Yone either staying 5 feet apart from one another but still mustering up the courage to hold hands even though you're both hot or cuddling up in front of 5 fans with a movie marathon streaming on the TV.
He'll allow you to brush and braid and play with his hair! But only you. Anyone else that dares to even lay a hand on his hair may be susceptible to losing a hand or an arm.
On the days when Yone feels particularly needy, he'll hug you from behind, looking at you with a stare you know just means he's begging to be kissed.
When you and Yone aren't talking about music, he's always eager to hear what you yearn for. What dreams do you have? And do they involve him? He hopes so...
You're everything Yone could have ever wished for and more. And even as the summer comes to an end, his love for you will never.

LOUIS AND HIS GAY ASS EXIT SONGS: EVER FALLEN IN LOVE (WITH SOMEONE YOU SHOULDN'T'VE)
"it was written by lead singer Pete Shelley about his feelings for another man."
"The story of Buzzcocks' pansexual punk anthem Ever Fallen in Love"
"This was someone who was very confused - confused by his sexuality, confused by love and lust and things, and he wrote songs that told the truth about love."
"I tried to be as gender neutral as possible in writing songs, because for me I could use the same song for either sex," he told Manchester DJ Dave Haslam.
"he did reveal to the Outpunk fanzine that it was about a friend called Francis."
"Punk may be thought of as a macho scene, but Shelley never saw a reason to hide his sexuality."
bonus:
"Though most of Shelley's songs were gender neutral, that wasn't always the case. His 1981 solo single Homosapien, with its opening line "I'm the shy boy, you're the coy boy", was an out-and-out electro LGBT anthem."

Street Spirit
Tumblr media
Pairing: Ghost x GN! Reader, First POV, no use of (Y/N)
Word Count: 1,457
Themes: Little Angst, Little Fluff, Hints at Emotional Abuse, Both Ghost and You opening up to each other
About: During a stakeout during a mission on a cold evening, you and your little miss sunshine attitude, manage to break down Ghost's walls he has built up.
Notes: I based this one off of the song Street Spirit (Fade Out) by Radiohead. Super great song! Nickname for this fic is Robin, meaning shining and bright. I aimed for this to be gender neutral but if it doesn't seem that way then please let me know! I'd rather be told so it can be correct for future works. Enjoy!
Tumblr media
It may be chilly out here, but I was comfortable. I love winter time, it is my favorite season in the entire year. The snow, the animals being dusted with snow frolicking through the knee deep snow, ice skating, it is truly the best season of the year. 
“You payin’ attention, Robin?” Ghost’s sudden voice made me jump. 
“Oh uh yes, yes sir Lieutenant.” I said, bringing my focus back to where we were looking. 
“Just sir is fine.” Ghost reminded me. 
“Yes, sir.” 
Ghost made a quiet sigh when he heard me. I try not to annoy him really, but I look up to Ghost in an odd way. He is very strong, very brave, and can turn his emotions off. I am learning so much from him the more I do missions with him and he always insists that I do missions with him, so he can’t hate me that much, right? 
“I’m sorry.” I mumbled, but he heard me. 
“You don’t need to apologize every single time, alright? You’re fine.” Ghost reassured me, despite his tone remaining the same. 
I didn’t say anything back as I regained my focus at the building we were scoping. I could hear Ghost mumbling something to himself. 
Makes me wonder how you got into this field in the first place. 
Oh. 
“I want to make my parents proud.” I said out loud, letting him know that I heard him. 
He didn’t say anything back but his eyes were on me. 
“They never really said they were proud of me. Ever. Not when I got my first school award, not when I graduated high school, not when I graduated college, not ever. But my younger sister, she could make a B on a test and they would praise the ground she walked on. It’s not fair, you know?” I poured out, not caring whether or not he was listening. 
It was silent for a moment and through the blistering cold winds I could barely feel the small tears that were falling down my face. 
“Why do ‘ou want their approval so badly?” Ghost asked, surprised he was even asking. 
I shrugged my shoulders. 
“Cause they are my parents, I guess? I don’t know.” 
I honestly wasn’t even sure how to answer that. 
“Why do you keep seeking validation from ‘hem when you know it’s not going to change?” 
Now he was asking the real questions. 
“You got me there, L.T.” I say, seeing a white rabbit hopping around through the snow. 
The white rabbit dug through the snow every so few feet, looking for some food. Oh to be a white rabbit in the winter just hopping through the snow, not having a care in the world. The only thing I’d miss is being around L.T. Even though it is quite forbidden, I feel like I have begun to develop feelings for my Lieutenant.  Everytime I am near him or close to him, my heart starts pounding out of my chest as if I was one of those silly cartoon characters from the 70s that was in love. Their faces turning bright red with blush and their hearts pounding out of their chests in a very cartoony and exaggerated way. That’s how I felt every time I was around Lieutenant. I most definitely looked up to Lieutenant Ghost and I wish to be like him the longer I am down the road, but I didn’t see myself developing feelings for him. I leaned my head down, in almost shame, feeling more of my tears run down my face. 
Why can’t you be more like your sister? 
She has better grades than you. 
You’ve grown pudgy, you need to be fit like your sister. 
She is picture perfect, why can’t you be like her? 
Why can’t you be like her? 
Why can’t you be like her? 
Why can’t you be like her? 
Why can’t you be like her? 
Why can’t you be like her? 
Why 
Can’t 
You
Be 
Like- 
“You’ll freeze if you keep this up, love.” 
I felt a soft felt get pushed up on my face by Ghost as he essentially wiped my cold tears off of my face. He is not wrong about that. I was kind of surprised he was looking out for me and he was leaning in close to me- Wait, did he just call me love? 
“Thanks, L.T.” I thanked him as my face dried up from my tears. 
“Just..Simon is alright.” 
I turned to see if he was serious and I could just see from his eyes that he was indeed serious. 
“Are you sure?” I asked. 
“Only if it's just the ‘too’ of us.” He reiterated. 
I had to hold in my chuckle hearing how he said two, and luckily I managed to keep it together. 
“Yes, sir.” I said, nearly letting a chuckle out. 
We were now in a comfortable silence, still waiting for our target to show up to the building that we were staking out right now. Price, Soap, Gaz, and Laswell were on the other side of the building doing what Ghost and I were doing basically. It’s just that Ghost insisted I came with him. 
“Simon?” 
“Hm?” He grumbled. 
“Why did you insist I come with you for this and not anyone else?” I ask. 
Ghost did a deep sigh, as if he was preparing the right words to say. 
“Despite your, little miss sunshine attitude, I see great potential in you.” Simon confessed. 
Lieutenant sees potential in me? Pinch me, I must be dreaming. 
“Oh, really?” 
“Yeah.” Ghost said, “I want to train you to be better than I am.” 
“Why? You’re great, Simon. A great leader and person.” I told him. 
Ghost did another one of those sighs, except this time the silence between us was longer than it had been. Did I say something bad? 
“Well, I actually went through what you went through. Sort of.” Simon started. 
And now he is opening up to me? This is kind of crazy cause I have no idea what kind of person Simon is nor who or what he was before he came to the Task Force. 
“My father shouldn’t have been a father. He was a real piece of shiet. Always taunted me, made fun of me, commented everythin’ I did, it was as if my existence was just wrong in his eyes.” Simon explained to me. 
I felt my heart sink as Simon told me that. I had no idea he went through something like that but I guess it explains the way that he is. 
“I decided to join the military, to get away from it all. Only to come across the wrong enemy and..” Simon paused, collecting his words, “my mother, brother, and father were all murdered by the enemy. I was also tortured for hours on end. Bloody fuckers trying to break me, but they never did. I eventually blew the wanker’s brains out. But it all sticks with me.” Simon finished. 
I felt a frog enter my throat, in shock from what Simon just told me. I didn’t know what to say. I can tell this has affected him greatly and it sticks with him. He has to live with something like that every single day. I couldn’t imagine. Simon was still close up next to me that our shoulders were nearly touching. Without putting too much thought into it, I raised my hand up and rested it on Simon’s shoulder. I can tell he felt it, but he didn’t turn nor acknowledge me. 
“I am sorry about that, Simon. This may seem kind of silly, but if you are ever having one of those days, you know, when it is hurting you more than it should on any given day, you can come to me.” I offered. 
“Thank you, Robin. You can do the same for me.” Simon offered as well. 
“It will be our little secret.” I teased. 
“Don’t push it, bird.” 
“Hey, it's Robin to you! Price declared that as my name after all.” I taunted, earning an eye roll from Simon. 
“Yeah, yeah.” He mumbled. 
As much as I liked our little moment together, it felt good to be back to our normal basis. From a far distance, I could see Soap’s light signal. 
“That’s us.” I said as Simon quickly got up on his feet. 
As I was starting to get up, Simon reached his hand down to me. I grabbed it and he lifted me up to my feet. Damn he was strong. 
“On the run, Robin.” 
“Yes, sir Lieutenant Simon.” 
Simon sighed as we began our run to the rendezvous meeting spot for our mission. Things shall be more interesting from now on.

Queer Theory Song Analysis: 'Should've Said No' by Taylor Swift
Tumblr media
Have we talked Queer Longing? Taylor’s music embodies Queer Longing. Looking from afar, seeing everything, hoping for nothing, and memorizing every detail because you know that this is the closest you will ever get to touching.
On the surface, this song can read as your typical country song: guy succumbs to his weak nature and does a good woman wrong. 
But notice that Taylor never actively genders the character she is in dialogue with as ‘male’; we as the audience, who are socialized into a heteronormative perspective, will do this for her — because we learn to link active traits, such as pursuit of sexual desires, with maleness. 
But the conversation that Taylor is textually engaged with in this song is really one of activeness vs passivity, where the passive position is given the moral weight.
Now the same socialization that teaches us that agency is the right and, quite frankly, the responsibility of ‘maleness’ also teaches us that passivity is the moral essence of ‘femaleness’. Women are damsels in distress who must wait for Prince Charming, who, in turn, may only settle down once he has thoroughly exhausted himself sowing his wild oats (though of course not with the chaste object of his castrated desire).
And while taking on the mantle of female passivity can be too much for any one person to bear, this weight can be particularly crippling for queer women, whose socialization may make them feel simultaneously alienated from and by their own sexual desires. Because when women are only taught how to be desired (and have to learn on the fly how to shield themselves from the often unwanted and sometimes downright dangerous gaze of men), it can feel incredibly disconcerting and even monstrous to discover oneself in the position of desirer, particularly if the object of this desire is another woman.
While the hetero read of this song is perfectly valid, I find that Taylor’s music always gains an additional degree of complexity when examined through a queer lens. 
And this song is no different. What on the surface can read as the righteous anger of a woman betrayed by a man with a wandering eye and an open fly suddenly vaults to a higher gear when viewed as a woman mocked and taunted by her own unexpressed desires, which I think can be distilled down to two narratives. 
On one hand, we can see Taylor railing against the ease with which a man can casually pursue the women he desires without consequence, while she holds herself back from doing the same, due to societal and familial expectations, professional ambitions and internalized homophobia. 
On the other hand, we can see a Taylor who has bifurcated herself for the same of survival, into the passive angel who yearns but never acts, and the devil who lives for the hope of it all and occasionally slips out, only to be chastised and shamed into repent by the part of herself that retains the moral high ground. 
It is this latter point of view I find to be the most compelling framework from which to examine this song.
We begin with the ‘socialized' version of Taylor shaming herself for her newly discovered desire of what she considers to be base and impure impulses. Against a backdrop of immense promise, this precocious golden child can’t help but feel like she has become something grotesque.
[Verse 1]
It's strange to think the songs we used to sing
The smiles, the flowers, everything is gone
Yesterday, I found out about you
Even now, just lookin' at you feels wrong
Taylor finger wags, she shames, she extracts a concession from herself. It was a one-time impulse, a singular loss of judgment, a moment of weakness that she vows never again to let herself repeat.
[Pre-Chorus]
You say that you'd take it all back
Given one chance
It was a moment of weakness
And you said yes
Taylor creates a mantra (turn if off, like a light switch, and if you can’t, well then REPRESS, BY GOD, REPRESS!), strengthens her resolve, and she reminds herself of why she has to keep herself in check. She has a reputation to manage. She shouldn’t even have to have this conversation with herself. Her eye should be on the prize of fame and success at all times. And if this rogue part of herself would be so kind as to just shut up and disappear, she wouldn’t have to beat herself up so. 
[Chorus]
You should've said no, you should've gone home
You should've thought twice 'fore you let it all go
You should've known that word
'Bout what you did with her'd get back to me (Get back to me)
And I should've been there in the back of your mind
I shouldn't be asking myself why
You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet
You should've said no
Baby, and you might still have me
Unfortunately, she can’t put this genie back in the bottle. She can’t trust herself to stick to the script and behave, now that she’s seen what lies beneath.
[Verse 2]
You can see that I've been cryin'
And baby, you know all the right things to say
But do you honestly expect me to believe
We could ever be the same?
[Pre-Chorus]
You say that the past is the past
You need one chance
It was a moment of weakness
And you said yes
But at least she can handcuff the desirous self to her disciplined self, and blindfold her, and maybe tie her ankles for good measure.
[Chorus]
You should've said no, you should've gone home
You should've thought twice 'fore you let it all go
You should've known that word
'Bout what you did with her’d get back to me (Get back to me)
And I should've been there in the back of your mind
I shouldn't be asking myself why
You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet
You should've said no
Baby, and you might still have me
Oh, oh
The great escape! The prison break! The light of freedom on her face! The desirous self is not going quietly. And for a second, Taylor loses her resolve. She longs to feel and taste and touch and know! She begs the desirous self to dish! Will she just live vicariously? Or will she throw it all away?  
[Bridge]
I can't resist
Before you go, tell me this
Was it worth it?
Was she worth this?
No, no
No, no, no, no
No! (You knew this was coming). The gag goes on. The desirous self gets lowered into the trunk. This is Taylor’s version. She is calculated. She is a business, man. And she won’t let herself get in her own way. She can do it with a broken heart.
[Chorus]
You should've said no, you should've gone home
You should've thought twice 'fore you let it all go
You should've known that word
'Bout what you did with her’d get back to me (Get back to me)
And I should've been there, in the back of your mind
I shouldn't be asking myself why
You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet
You should've said no
Baby, and you might still have me

A/N: I’m really sorry but read-more links aren’t working on my blog atm, I’ve raised a ticket with Tumblr and they’ve registered it as a bug that they’re looking into but for now I can’t use them because they mess up the whole post :(
Eleventh Doctor x gender!neutral reader
Tumblr media
Dating Eleven Would Include
so to begin with, he’d be awkward and clumsy as per usual
over time he gets more accustomed to the blossoming feelings for you and relaxes into them, being more open to flirting back
PDA comes so naturally to him he consistently catches himself out when he becomes aware of the fact he’s holding your hand, swung an arm around you or pulled you in for a hug on instinct
the Doctor is always going out of his way to do sweet things for you
he remembers every place you’ve referenced wanting to visit, every favorite food you’ve mentioned, every dream date idea that he has pried out of you with the least subtle questions and motivations you can imagine
and he uses all of that information to his advantage, regularly planning said dates out for you in the most beautiful places in the universe
a regular picnic? nono, not on the Doctor’s watch. we’re talking planets entirely made of meadows, as far as the eye can see, inhabited by sentient orbs of light that exist in complete peace and harmony, floating around amongst the flowers and creating a field of stars every time the seven sun’s set
a date at the cinema? try the biggest cinema screen in the universe that you have to sit 50 feet away from, with special goggles just to protect your eyes from the power of the light from the screen. 
“And it’s not just the screen that’s big, it’s the highest quality speakers ever invented, and they are completely invisible! 4D sound systems? Not here, 8D AND UP ONLY BABY! That does mean that if we see any movie with freak weather patterns, we may have to bring several changes of clothes to suit the climates they simulate around our seats. Which are levitating in total darkness. So we will also need a very powerful torch to find our seats. Which I have already invented, naturally. It plays tense music whenever it’s switched on.”
“That’s a lot to process, but I am stuck on the torch - why did you add tense music as a feature?”
“For dramatic effect, why else?!”
he’s fiercely protective of you 
we all know the look in his eyes when the Daleks rock up, the fury that burns when he recalls anything regarding the Time War; that’s the same expression that greets anyone or anything that causes you harm in any way whatsoever
he’s almost scared to admit that he’d tear a planet apart to find you, save you, fix any harm that has been done to you, if that is what it cost
whether you are with him through his regeneration into 11 or not, you show him parts of his personality that have been hidden for hundreds and hundreds of years, feelings he never thought he would be lucky enough to find again
and it terrifies him, of course, to consider what he lost in those feelings before, how he could lose you in a new, more painful way 
but you reassure him
with every hold of your hand, every bright smile, every hug, every laugh at one of his silly lines, every kiss, every whisper in the dark when he lies with you until you fall asleep in his arms, you comfort the Doctor that no matter what happens, you will find your way back to each other
you, the Doctor and River Song are absolutely in a three-way marriage
River flirts with you more than the Doctor and he’ll sulk about it
“Honestly, what’s the point in me being here?! Should I drop you two off on an isolated moon to engage in your…shenanigans?! Ooh, ‘shenanigans’, now that’s a good word, I should use it more often!”
you and River both know him so well and share your frustrations over his occasional idiocies the girl’s that get it, y’know?
picture this: the Doctor being so excited to see River but she just runs past him and straight to you because the two of you have orchestrated sleepovers in the TARDIS and routinely fail to let the Doctor know ahead of time iconic
the two of you never make it official, but it is understood on both sides that you are in a relationship and nothing will break that bond
and you are the happiest couple in this universe, and every other

I've realised that I haven't actually written any rules before anyone makes a request/sends me a prompt etc, (they're not really 'rules', it's just the best word for it)
I don't write smut (I may be open to it eventually, but for me it's just really awkward and I make myself cringe)
I usually always write fem!reader, but I do try to make every post gender neutral where I can
Sam is (and always will be) my favourite character to write, so most of my writings will be about him (sorry not sorry) but I am always up for writing for almost everybody else! Just send an ask and we'll sort it from there :)
I love writing songfics, I'm currently trying to write a songfic for every Taylor Swift song (which is all 243 songs) but I am more than happy to write for any song, just send an ask!
Now there isn't much I wouldn't write about, but the ones I will refuse are:
wincest, infact any incest ever, smut and destiel. I will only be writing x reader rather than two characters that already exist.
